GETTYSBURG, Pa. – The Gettysburg College baseball team scored eight runs in the first inning and never looked back, defeating Penn State-Mont Alto 17-2 for its 11th win in a row Thursday afternoon in a non-conference game at a blustery Kirchhoff Field.

The Bullets (14-3) have now posted their longest winning streak in over 80 years. The last time Gettysburg won 11 straight occurred over parts of the 1929 and 1930 seasons, when the Bullets posted a school-record 14 consecutive victories, winning their final two games in 1929 and their first 12 games in 1930.

Senior Mike Elisio finished 3-for-3 with two runs and three RBIs for Gettysburg, which out-hit Mont Alto 19-7. Classmate Nate Simon was 2-for-4 with a triple, three runs, and three RBIs, the last of which gave him 100 RBIs for his career. He becomes just the seventh player in school history to reach the milestone and the first since Mike Backus in 2010.

Senior Patrick O'Grady went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBIs while senior Austin Davis scored three runs. Sophomore Andy Kelley and senior Tommy LeNoir each finished 2-for-2.

A total of 24 Bullets appeared in the game, and Kelley, sophomore Andrew Hourigan, and sophomore Shawn Moffitt all recorded their first collegiate hit.

Freshman Rich Power started on the mound for the Bullets and tossed five shutout innings. Power (2-0) allowed five hits and no walks while striking out six. Freshman Kyle Considine yielded two runs on one hit and four walks in the sixth before seniors Rob Stalzer and Joe Saladino blanked the Nittany Lions over the final three innings. Stalzer allowed just one hit and one walk while striking out four over two innings before Saladino worked a hitless ninth.

Jonathan Furness and Aaron Maze each finished 2-for-3 for Mont Alto, which was playing its season opener.

Power escaped the first inning after allowing a leadoff double before Gettysburg's bats went to work in the bottom of the frame against starter Dylan Bryan. The Bullets sent 12 batters to the plate and O'Grady smacked both of his doubles in the inning.

Gettysburg would tack on nine more runs from the second through the seventh, scoring two apiece in the second, third, fourth, and seventh innings.
